Morning Reads for Monday, January 11th 2016
34 years ago today, January 11th 1982, was also a Monday. It had been cold, and in the early afternoon, it began to warm up. Around 4 PM, it started to snow. Everyone panicked. It took me over six hours to get from Perimeter Center to Stone Mountain. And thus the first SnowJam was born.

Happy birthday, Alexander Hamilton! The world will never be the same.
David Bowie… Heart. Breaking.
And so begins 40 days of he!!. Ugh.
I think I like the new site so far. Look forward to seeing how things progress here!
(Yay for the edit function btw. Boo that the site does not get along with Chrome, at least on my end.)

Reading this from the Capitol building on a state computer running IE.
Sigh….they’ll learn to love either Firefox or Chrome. If they’re really brave, they’ll use Lynx (http://lynx.invisible-island.net/). Of course, I dunno how our new home would render in it.
